MIAMI (WSVN) - The father of a teen who was fatally stabbed inside a Brickell high-rise nearly three months ago has been arrested in violation of a domestic violence restraining order.
Jon Ferrell, 50, is accused of contacting his other children after his 17-year-old son Dominic was murdered inside the Icon Residences condominium.
According to court documents, Dominic was visiting his father against his mother’s wishes at the time of his death.
By then, a judge had granted the teen’s mother a temporary restraining order, forbidding Ferrell from contacting her or their children.
Ferrell is behind bars, facing seven counts of violating the order.
In a statement, Ferrell said:
“I lost my son, my best friend, and I relive it every night. I’m living a nightmare that keeps getting worse. These charges are absurd and unjust. All I want is to grieve and be a father to my children without being dragged through baseless accusations.”
Ferrell’s attorney, Matt Weinshall of Podhurst Orseck, also issued a statement:
“Jon Ferrell is facing accusations he strongly denies. He continues to grieve the devastating loss of his son Dominic. On top of that profound pain, he now faces allegations that are unjust and unfounded. These claims have been orchestrated to damage his reputation, adding further hardship to an already unimaginable period in his life. Above all, Jon hopes this matter can be resolved in a way that allows the entire family to find a constructive path forward.”
The case remains under investigation.
